E-mail Consolidation
I used to use a catch-all e-mail address on my domain as a form of spam tracker. I signed up for JobsOnline.com using jobsonline at my domain name, for Callwave.com using callwave at my domain name, etc. Originally, this was not a bad idea. Several sources refer to this as a practice that was effective … Continue reading
The Internet’s Holy Day
I got my DVD recorder and video stabilizer and set them up. I managed to get them working, but I didn’t have the remote control for the DVD recorder. It was mentioned in the auction as being missing, so that was fine, but it turns out a lot of the features are only accessible through … Continue reading
Not Getting E-mail
The ants are still there after all. They’ve got their babies up there with them now. Oh goody. Fortunately there was absolutely nothing interesting in the mail today. I have not received any e-mails in over five hours. Not spam, not test messages sent to myself, not anything. I normally get 3500+ spam messages a … Continue reading
Internet: 1, Google: 0
I was watching In the Life and they had a sound bite from Malcolm Lazin, the organizer of PrideFest Philadelphia. I thought the name sounded familiar from a scandal that took place about six years ago, so I googled for malcolm lazin mmow. Google wanted to know… Did you mean: malcolm lazin mmorpg Bwahaha.

I clicked on the link for exhibit number FO05521.54, which was described … Continue reading

Nervous About E-mail
I’ve been freaked out all weekend about my e-mail situation. Dreamhost [...] Whoa. Phew. When I went to the Dreamhost weblog to find the permalink to the post that freaked me out, I discovered another entry that was posted a couple of hours ago saying the reason for my freaking out has been remedied. You … Continue reading
Fanlisting Conversions
Thanks to inspiration from the Quilting Bee message board, I spent today messing about with fanlistings. I had tried before to convert to Enthusiast 3 and it broke horribly, so I gave up and went back to Fanbase. This time I managed to get all seven of my owned FL’s converted successfully from Fanbase to … Continue reading
MySpace Still Sucks
Today I had my hatred for MySpace (well, it’s a healthy dislike) renewed. Here is a totally spontaneous message from, and ensuing conversation with, this guy, whom I had never heard of before this morning.
Porting to Dreamhost
I did it. I signed up with Dreamhost using one of those promo codes. I should have done it through a friend so one of you would have gotten the money, but at least this way I didn’t have to play favorites amongst my several friends who host with them. I have mixed feelings about … Continue reading
